It is alleged that Sunday last, at around 19:00hrs on Agricola Public Road, East Bank Demerara, Khan drove in a manner dangerous, thus causing the death of 50-year-old Douglas Forrester called “Briggie”, a resident of Agricola.
Khan’s statement, which was presented by his attorney, indicated that the accused who is a taxi driver at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri, was travelling along the Agricola Public Road returning to the said location, when he saw Forrester on the side of the road using his cell phone.
He indicated that he proceeded to caution Douglas by honking his horn. However Douglas became startled and ran into the vehicle’s path.
